Yesterday the sad news was received by cable that Driver Douglas Viney second son of Mr. D. Viney, of Fernhill Nile, was killed at the front on November 19. The deceased, who was only 19 years of age was a particularly promising young man and had been in Egypt and at the front for about 11months. Much sympathy is expressed for the parents and their family in their sad bereavement. The deceased was a Grammar School boy and his fine manly disposition made him a general favourite.
